Snow Sbrvival Rules
Given to Girl Scouts
Roby (Slim) Maberry of
Crater Lake National park
and his sons, Kenneth and
Dennis, demonstrated many
"do's and dont's" at the Op
eration X program on snow
survival held Saturday, Jan
uary 14, at Hedrick Junior
High school by the Girl Scouts
of America. The program, one
of several to be held in com
ing months, was attended by
about 200 girls and leaders
of the North Jackson and
South Medford districts. Girl
Scouts of the sixth grade
through Senior Scouts are eli
gible to attend.
Mr. Maberry, concerned
mainly with survival in snow
country, explained and dem
onstrated what the minimum
equipment for a snow hike
or a ski trip, with overnight
camping, should be. High on
his list was the first aid kit,
with plenty of adhesive tape.
He showed the many ways
tape could be used in an emer
gency, lashing poles for a
leanlo, repairing broken ski
poles and other things.
Other needs were an extra
pair of socks, extra sweater,
matches in a dry container,
plastic bags, a candle to light
fires, sleeping bag, snow pick,
a rope and the ski equipment.
He also stated that newspaper
can be used in many ways,
but one of the important ways
to use it is in the toe of the
boots to absorb moisture.
Go in Parly
Emphasizing that no one
should ski or hike alone, but
should have a party of at
least three, Mr. Maberry ex
plained the use of the ava
lanche rope and the snow
TIMID?
"Why, I was the shyest
person you could ever
imagine until I learned to
dance at Arthur Murray's.
What a difference that
made in me. Now, friends say
I'm the 'life of the parly'."
C.L.
It doesn't take long for shy peo
ple to "discover themselves" at
Arthur Murray's. For learning
to dance his easy "Magic Step"
way gives you poise and new con.
fidence. You'll have lots of fun
make hosts of new friends, too.
Open daily 10 AM to 10 PM.

pick. He also described the
three main types of ava
lanches and the chances of
survival if caught in one. If
caught in a wet avalanche
there is usually no hope of
surviving; in a dry avalancne
a person may survive, it ue
face can be protected for
breathing, as he can usually
dig out. A crest avalanche
may be either wet or dry.
The girls were told that if
an avalanche started they
should try to get behind a
tree or a good size stable
boulder, which could divide
the flow of snow, thus pro
tecting them.
Mr. Maberry also explain
ed what to do, and especially
what not to do in the case
of frostbite. He said it is harm
ful to rub snow on a frost
bitten area, and told the girls
to rub either below or above
the affected area if the face
is frost bitten he recommend
ed placing the hands over the
spot to warm it. He also told
them that if they feel they
are freezing, to keep moving,
rather rthan stand still, but
not to wear themselves out
with violent exercise. He rec
ommended carrying chocolate
bars for quick energy.
Fires Demonstrated
Another feature of the pro
gram was a demonstration of
different types of fires that
could be built, and that could
be depended upon to hold heat
overnight. The speaker also
instructed the girls in the type
of boughs to use in making
a leanto and a bough bed.
The next program, to be
held at Hedrick Junior High
school Saturday, February 11,
from 9:30 to 12 p.m., will fea
ture Claude Haggard,, safety
engineer of the California
Oregon Power company. He
will discuss and demonstrate
electrical and home safety.
The programs, designed to
give the Girl Scouts a better
idea of how to act in emer
gencies, also help the girls in
working toward proficiency
badges. Each program con
tains information necessary
for one or more requirements
of one or more badges. Some
of the badges that might be
integrated with the programs
are first aid, our community,
safety, health aid, home
health and safety, weather,
pioneering and handywoman
Former Domiciliary Secretary
Describes Life in Npr East
A glimpse into the life of
an American family in Am
man, Jordan, is given in a let
ter from Mr. and Mrs. Del-
mar Uooley to Mrs. Amy
Randle, 1115 West Fourth
street, Medford, Mrs. Dooley
is the former Thalia Doty,
who was secretary to Marvin
Kahn, special service officer
at the Veterans Domiciliary
at White City a number of
years ago.
Mr. Dooley is an agricul
tural instructor for the Near
East Foundation in Jordan.
Mrs. Dooley reviewed the
past year for her friends in
Medford, and vividly des
cribes places of religious and
historic significance which
they have visited. The letter
reads:
We have had an extremely
interesting year here in Jor
dan; our original contract year
has been extended until next
spring, so we have a few more
months to accomplish things
yet undone. There is history
at every turn in the road.
Bible reading and stories take
on more meaning and deeper
interest. The Arab-Jew, or Jordan-Israel
situation has be
come a real thing now be
fore it was merely news items
and propaganda.
Last Christmas eve we fol
lowed the bright star hang
ing under a cradle moon to
Bethlehem and attended
church services in the Church
of Nativity. The ringing of the
famous "Christmas Bells" was
wonderful. Art Linklettcr was
there filming the service to
show on his TV program this
season. Perhaps many of you
saw it. Later (early spring) we
made another trip to Bethle
hem to do our sightseeing, as
it was too crowded and cold
at Christmas. We saw the
fields of Ruth and Boaz, Rach
el's tomb. Shepherd's field,
etc. On Palm Sunday we
walked the Gethsemane Road
from Martha's and Mary's
home in Bethany, over the
Mt. of Olives to Gethsemane,
with a Sunday school group
and had Scripture readings
along the way.

looking the Garden of Gethse
mane and watched Jjic church
processions come down the
Mt. of Olives into the Garden,
and on into the city. On Good
Friday we joined the thou
sands of pilgrims on the Way
of the Cross procession. At
each Station Scriptures were
read.
Many of the pilgrims had
brought crosses with them
from their country. They car
ried them all the way of the
Cross and into the Holy Sepul
chre church, and then took
them back to their home
churches. Some of the crosses
were hos heavy that it took
were so heavy that it took
other trips when the city
wasn't so crowded, we visited
places of interest in the Old
City the prision where it is
believed Christ . was kept,
Dome of the Rock, and Wail
ing Wall.
Visit Recounted
In March we enjoyed a visit
with Eula Wintermote from
Tehran, and crowded a lot of
sightseeing into a few days.
At that we visited Jericho
in the rain an unusual oc
currence in the Jordan valley,
and saw the Jordan river
where Jesus was baptized. We
also visited in Jerash, an an
cient Roman city of specta
cular ruins. One of the most
interesting scenic places is
Mt. Nebo from whence
Moses looked down upon the
Promised Land, and where he
died. I wish I could paint the
view from there; the Jordan
valley and the Dead sea at
our feet, and the mountains
with the spires of Jerusalem
rising beyond.
There is a lovely modern
hotel at the Dead sea, and
a number of social events have
taken place there. The laun
ching of the Jordan-America
society was a dinner-dance; to
the music of Red Nichols and
his orchestra. We don't see
good dance bands very often,
so it was a double pleasure.
The first part of November
the Jordan-America society
had a moonlight picnic there,
and the weather was lovely.
Through the USIS and Jor
dan-America Society we have
seen some very fine artists
perform;, piano concerts, a
string quartet, and an ice
show, performed in an ancient
Roman amphitheatre! We en
joyed seeing the TV debates
between Nixon and Kennedy,
and there have been some ex
cellent lecturers. JAS is plan
ning an outing to Petra, and
we plan to see this city carved
oul of red limestone some two
thousand years ago.
Assassination Told
The bombing assassination
of the Prime Minister, Haza
Majalli, was a terrible shock,
and brought several days of
uneasiness, bul all seems to
be serene again - especially
since the king s return from
the U. N. We heard his speech
here just a few hours after he
had made it, and we were
very Interested. When he re
turned to Jordan there were
street demonstrations and re
joicing for several days. We
were to attend a dinner in
honor of the Prime Minister
the evening on which he was
killcd-and one. of the last
telephone calls he made was
to his wife reminding her of
their engagement. When Eula
was here we had a tour of
the palace, and had met him
at that time.
We attended Jordan Army
day and saw the unique cam
el troops and a real desert
sand storm. Now I know why
Arabs wear the type of head
dress they do-it is most prac
tical in a dust storm! People
around us, visible only within
three feet, had their faces
wrapped in their scarves
while we breather through
handkerchiefs. After it swept
past we were a different col
or; our clothes, camera cases,
and bags were penetrated!
There was a water shortage
all summer, and we had lo
watch our roof top tanks
curefully, We were among the
fortunate few not to run oul,
and also managed to keep a
nice flower garden (but no
lawn). Each Sunday we en
joyed swimming at the RAF
pool.
Douglas started school at a
British kindergarten this fall,
and likes it very much. He is
learning lo read and write,
counts to 100 and does simple
addition with numbers to 10.
Alan amuses himself very
well, but really lights up
when Douglas gets home.
They had a big lime on Hal
loween; dressed up and vis
ited the American homes in
the neighborhood. They have
quite a number of playmates
their ages near us, so keep
quite busy. We have three
nice hens in a little chicken
house In the corner of our
back yard (they produce 2
and 3 eggs each day) and the
boys like to feed and water
them and pick the eggs. We
still have our big cat "Syl
vester". The NEF program keeps us
busy. Our main work, is to
bring improvements to the
rural pwiple. The "Youth
Center" project that we told
you about last year has
grown greatly this pint year.
